Thanks Hans. I finally got the Ctrl-F11 to work (difficult to select a toc sometimes!)
But this is a workaround isn't it?
You shouldn't have to do this.

I will try that Hans,
In the meantime I have made a screen video (attached) in avi format to show the even STRANGER behaviour when the TOC is in its own section but on two pages.
The first page...

Yes, I've tried everything, including Pam's suggestions.
I created a new document as a test and it still happens with this too.
It would seem that if you put a table of contents in ANY section of a...

Well, the problem persists with Word 2007 I have discovered, and it seems to be general and not specific to any one document.
If I create a document with two sections and put page numbers starting...

Thanks Catharine - that's it!
It's amazing what you can do once you know the correct words to search on.

I know you can use functions in Excel, but what about the other way around? I can't find any references on the web to this sort of scenario:
You have a spreadsheet that has one cell as the INPUT...

Thank you Hans!
Now you mention it, I did think it was strange to have to use the Initialize Handler events etc when Outlook is already open and going.
But there is NOTHING in the Microsoft help...

I've never been able to get the New Mail event to trigger code in any version of Outlook, even though I think I am carrying out all the steps correctly. Office 2007 has this sample which it says to...

I have found the solution, and probably the cause!
I don't think many people would know about this DEFECT in Word 2007, so I am posting my solution.
It's because of the fact that Microsoft has only...

Having just "upgraded" from Office 2003 to 2007, I find that many of my automation routines involving Word have been broken, especially automation of Word from Access routines.
I had some access...

Thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately that isn't it; I checked and the box for 'update fields before printing' in Tools>Options>Print is not ticked.
Then I tried one last time and GUESS WHAT??!!...

Thanks Hans. I can do that. But it seems 'inelegant', if I may presume to be so fussy.
I guess my question is why do the page numbers change in the TOC when you print using the page and section...

I have a word 2003 document with several sections: the first contains the TOC (table of contents) for the second section. If I print using "Print current page when I am on the TOC page, the page...

Of course. Thanks Hans.
I was trying to use AddShape - silly me!
Works fine.

That worked Hans, thanks.
I couldn't figure out how to add a Shape directly - the add shape method doesn't seem to allow for the file name of the object you want to insert.
I guess it is a property...

Could anyone point out the error that makes this code fail the first time at the line:

IShape.ConvertToShape

with the message:

Method 'ConvertToShape' of object 'InlineShape' failed

BUT...

Thanks. That makes sense, even if I don't quite precisely why!

Thanks Hans,
I'm glad it was that easily fixed.
I 'created' the code using a macro in Word which clearly knows what object CentimetersToPoints is a method of.
However, the error has not arisen...

My problem seems to be the opposite of the 'early binding, global object' problem discussed widely on the web.
When I run the following code from scratch, it fails at the last line shown. ( ...

Thanks! That did solve the problem but the weird thing is that I never changed the Menu Bar and I am sure no-one else did either. It must be one of those buggy things that seems to affect this...

I have just learned after some years that I am using the older pst file (Outlook 97 - 2002) to store all my outlook data and that it needs to be updated to the 2003 unicode file format. They might...

That's just it: I do re-install the driver, every single time the computer reboots. Once should be enough. Windows device manager does not recognise the Raid controller, it just calls it a PCI...

Thanks; I tried shutting down in safe mode but it still took 8 minutes. If I insert another hard disc with a fresh Winxp sp2 on it , shutdown is normal. Baffling. Maybe it is the original disc at...

Yes, but none of the suggestions seem to work. The first suggestion is to try shutting the computer down from SAFE MODE, which I did. But it still took the usual 8 minutes on the "Windows is shutting...

I used Acronis universal restore, a hard disc imaging program, to move my WinXP system to a new computer. It worked, and works, fine except that every time I reboot Windows asks to reinstall the...
